Hello Everyone

I have two questions to ask..

1. How often should I reboot my server?
2. Why does a server need to be rebooted periodically?
 
I only reboot if a patch requires a reboot or for planned maintenance.

Well, That was a joke.
Rebooting of Server always depends on the availability, if your server
requires high availability to the production (24/7) then its better to avoid
the reboot. otherwise you will be fired for non - availability. There are
some situations where you need to restart like patches and all. It is always
advisable to inform in well advance to the users for a Server Maintainence.
There should always be a maintainence schedule to avoid such situations.

I hope its clear, now
